Abstract

The article discusses "Expanding Verse: Japanese Poetry at the Edge of Media," a book by Andrew Campana that explores the intersection of Japanese poetry and media technologies. Campana argues that the Japanese avant-garde has historically engaged with media in ways that challenge Western narratives, highlighting the dual pressures of originality and Western influence faced by Japanese zen'ei poets. The book examines various forms of poetry, including experimental practices and the works of poets with disabilities, emphasizing how these expressions critique and redefine media rather than merely celebrate it. Ultimately, Campana's work contributes significantly to the understanding of modern Japanese cultural history and poetic practice. [Extracted from the article]
